So it turns out that a Star Wars franchise is kind of the big deal. Who knew? Well, for one super fan watching the movies simply wasn’t enough. This fan commissioned the custom-built speeder bike as seen in the 1983 classic Return of the Jedi. The entire thing was built by the bike a shop called Vintage Works based out of Green Bay, Wisconsin. According to Vintage Works, this speeder bike was built using the combination of CNC machined aluminum and hand-formed aluminum body panels. A custom creation reportedly tops out at around 70 mph and features hub-less wheels that are designed to give it the effect of gliding along a pavement. A 400-watt sound system has been installed to make a speeder sound as realistic as possible.
